Sunset over Belmont Bay - Lake Macquarie NSW

Sunset over Belmont Bay - Lake Macquarie NSW

I wasn’t sure there would be a sunset tonight over Lake Macquarie in NSW Australia. The sky clouded over with a low fog like cloud and I thought my time would be wasted … then the sky began to change with hints of blue, snow white fluffy clouds … heavier grey. The sun gently and slowly moved in and out of the layers constantly changing the colours in the sky, keeping me intrigued and riverted to my position on the steps of the old Belmont Baths until I was sure there was no more light … and no more colour.

    Beautiful image Bev. I love the sky & the way you got the birds to fly just into the right position. Perfect composition.

  • Bev Woodman replied 23 days ago

    Thanks Michael … as you know if you sit there long enough and keep clicking away, you’re bound to come up with something a little different. I chose this one out of the many I took because of the birds … it was so nice of them to fly by … now they’re famous!♥

    Thanks Rosalie … I learnt the lesson very early on that you need to wait long after you think it all finished … that is often when you get the best shots!♥

    Thanks Tania … it was nice of the birds to do a fly past … I did miss a huge pelican though … now that would have been something else!♥

    Oh my Bev – how extraordinary!! Not just that incredible sunset but the whole composition including the fortuitous birds! Just stunning my friend.

    There wouldn’t be too many places over your side where you could capture a sunset over water so you’ve done VERY well to come up with such a super shot as this. There is a nice range of colours in the sky and the glow on the water is wonderful. Well worth staying out late for. I love it. Peter

  • Bev Woodman replied 23 days ago

    Thanks Peter … I am so lucky to live on this beautiful lake and I see so many beautiful sunsets … I usually check them out as I drive around the lake on my way home from work each day … and if I think there’s promise, then we pack up the gear and head down to one of our many favourite spots. We drove around a few spots tonight, initially it was foggy and heavy cloud and then this appeared!♥
